A DENIAL THAT IRISH MEMBERS
LAUGHED AT AN OUTRAGE.

pnen-Sir TreVelyan Elected in Bridge
ton Division of Glasgow.
LONDON, Aug. Am election was held
to-day in Bridgeton division of Glasgow to
fill the Parliamentary seat made vacant by
the resignation of Z. r. Russell, Home Rule
Liberal, who at the last election received
1864 votes, against !, 567 for his Conserva-
tive opponent, Colin Mackenzie The cleo
tion resulted i'll the return of Sir George
Otto Trevelyan the Liberal candidate. by a
vote of 4,654. Evelyn Ashley, the Conser-
vative nominee, received 1888.
Sir Trevelyans victory is felt in conser-
vative circles TO be the severest blow the
Unionist cause has yet experienced. Intense
interest pervaded the clubs this evening
The Carlton, the National Liberal the Re
form and others were thronged with men,
bers as awaiting news Of the result in Glas-
cow. Each side attached supreme import
ance to the election as the first fought since
the general election between Gladstonians
and the Liberal Unionists other contests
having been between the Conservatives and
GladStonianS.
ALL THE LEADERS ACTIVE.
The leaders on both sides actively Joined
in the fray. Mr.. Gladstones speech on
Friday, and the letters of Messrs Bright
Chamberlain, Harrington and Harcourt
being specially intended to influence the
result The Unionists expected that Trevel-
yam would be returned, the character of the
constituency, which consists of purely
radical workmen, infused with a large Irish
element making it a safe Gladstonian seat
But they were also confident of a reduction
of the former GladstOnian majority which
would prove the beginning of reaction in
Scotland from faith in Mr.. GladstOne's
issues The immense increase in the Glad
stonian vote has caused panic among the
Unionists. When the result Of the election
became known in the House the members
deserted the benches and focked to the
lobbies, where they earnestly discussed the
political outlook.
HOME RULERS JUBILANT.
The home rulers were jubilant.
The Ministerialists admit that modifica-
ton of the governments policy is probable
under this conclusive proof of the spread of
Gladstonianism.
The section of the Conservative party
which was pressing the cabinet to proclaim
the National League was on the verge of
success but it is thought that the efforts
Of these Conservatives will now
be Intellectual and that all the
efforts of the government toward
another result will be that Mr.. Gladstone
will be more chary of promising concessions
to the Liberal UnionistS and will rather
seek consolidated alliance with the Parnell-
ties, who have been becoming uneasy and
dissatisfied since the eX Premicr's speech
leaving it an open question as to the separa-
ton OF Ulster from the rest of Ireland
Sir George Trevelyan, in a speech this
evening, said that his victory made it next
to impossible for the government to pro-
claim the Irish National League. The cleo
ton, he declared, largely settled the Irish
question. Henceforth, Ireland must be
treated in spirit of Cancellation, kindness
and confidence
In the House of Commons this evening
Mr.. Dillon complained of the statement that
appeared in a provincial paper which he
suspected was supplied by Il Conservative
member, charging him in the recent debate
with laughing in approval of the stoning of
tne daughter of the agent of Lord Sligo

Dillon said he made it a rule not to notice
newspaper assertions, but this offensive and
disgusting passage was too much for him.
